In conclusion, this comprehensive exploration of flexible pavement layers transcends the superficial understanding of a road's surface. It immerses us in the intricate world of material science, geotechnical engineering, and construction practices that collectively define the resilience and durability of our transportation infrastructure.

The pavement having high flexural strength and constructed utilizing RCC or PCC is called rigid pavement. It is simply a concrete road (either RCC or PCC). Rigid Pavement is divided into different slabs during construction, and a small gap is provided between the slabs so that concrete doesn't crack during expansion on summer […]

A rigid pavement structure is typically composed of a PCC surface course built on top of either (1) the subgrade or (2) an underlying base course. Because of its relative rigidity, the pavement structure distributes loads over a wide area with only one, or at most two, structural layers (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Rigid Pavement Load Distribution.

The oldest known road in the U.K. is near the River Brue in southwestern England [Coles, 1989]. Actually, the "road" is a 6,000 year old walkway which was discovered in 1970 in a peat bog. The construction of the road coincides with the arrival of the first farmers in the U.K. about 4,000 B.C. Telford and Macadam Telford

Basically, state highway agencies generally select pavement type either by policy, economics or both. Flexible pavements generally require some sort of maintenance or rehabilitation every 10 to 15 years. Rigid pavements, on the other hand, can often serve 20 to 40 years with little or no maintenance or rehabilitation.
